More than 100 Richmond Little League players and a host of local dignitaries joined Reddick for the ceremony, including Richmond Mayor Gayle McLaughlin; Larry Harper, founder and executive director of the Good Tidings Foundation; Ken Pries, vice president of communications and broadcasting for the Oakland A's; Shooty Babitt, Oakland A's broadcaster and a former player; and Rob Black, senior director of community relations at PG&E.

Always knowing he wanted to be a missionary for underserved children, Larry Harper took the baseball strike of 1994 as his chance to dedicate his life to bettering the opportunities for youth.
After writing the children's book, It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, with Vin Scully to benefit children's charities, Larry left his position as the Director of Scouting for the San Francisco Giants to found the Good Tidings Foundation.
